Silk ribbon first appeared in France during the mid
1700's. Only royalty and the court could afford to wear such elaborate
garments. Soon the fashion
for the French court drifted to England, and silk ribbon embroidery
became fashionable for the ladies of the British court. From there
it moved to
British colonies such at the United States, Canada, Austrailia
and New Zealand.
The uses of 100% pure silk ribbon are innumerable and include
many children's and ladies garments,
hand and machine embroidery, doll dressing, smocking as well as
home decor items such as pillows, napkins, bedspreads, quilts,
etc.
